Mamata's Lies Punctured - North Bengal gets jumbo rail gift

Railways&rsquo; jumbo gift to N Bengal: Rs 300 crore for doubling of tracks - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site
A day after the two budgets,when west bengal cm cried foul over not getting enough for north bengal tea plantations n bengal being neglected as a whole,it now seems she was bluffing
Not only did north bengal get its dream project sanctioned with plenty of money,it now appears bengal allocation in rail budget was around 1496 crores,3rd highest as a state,significantly higher than rail minister home state Karnataka at 1200crore n PM Modi's own state of Gujarat.
While many of her stadia n nursing projects were abandoned,metro in kolkata got fair allocation,especially considering the fact that most projects r caught up in land tangles,due to non cooperation from the state,n for last 3 yrs,they have always been unable to spentgiven allocated money at the end of the year.
Even the union budget gave handsome handouts to Indian Museum,Victoria Museum,National library,Asiatic society,E W metro,totalling above 200crore.
Besides SRTFI,BESU,ISI,SINP all got handouts above 100crores each..besides getting a new AIIMS n a new research institute in Kolkata.
4800 crore for Haldia Allahabad navigation project,smart city promise under Kolkata Amritsar project,and huge gain from increased royalty rates for coal in Asansol n raniganj,this budget has given much to Bengal.
But as is the bad luck of the state,its CM,instead of allowing speedy land allocation for these mega projects,chooses to play land politics.

while she was railway minister, while presenting the budget of railway she used words of poem of tagore. " where the mind is without dear and head is held high." but she forgot that poem also have lines" where the words comes from depth of truth"( sorry if some words used wrong, read it a year ago).
.
now because of her subsidies to railways, there is no money for safety of railways. Nor she is speaking truth.
.
why did she used those lines then?

More than her I am shocked and disgusted by West Bengalis who gave her such a huge mandate in WB Lok Sabha elections. BJP could have smashed through and dismantled her force in the state but Bengalis just enjoy being beaten, attacked, targeted and in shambles.

we werent allowd to vote...this election was the most violent one in bengal history..the elec commission was either clueless or did nothing...bjp led in all cities n towns..including kolkata,siliguri,durgapur,haldia,asansol,howrah...but in lok sabha votes,..slum votes n village votes matter...hindu villages were not allowed to vote..huge violence unleashed in border districts of birbhum,balurghat,basirhat,barasat...

West Bengal is a blot on India. In the past some years I have developed an extreme contempt for the bengalis...how can they elect anti-nationals again and again and again!
first the commies and now the maha-commie mamta

Mamta won because of massive rigging ... The election commission has failed to stop the rigging in last general election... In case of fair election Mamta will lose out... the same Bengali's will vote her out... she is losing her support base very rapidly...

He he .. guess where you can take your opinion to?

DFI needs a good Bug-Repelent spray. They seem to be infesting it pretty badly these days.

Its not just his opinion its a fact that WB has failed to live up to its potential. The state is a failure and I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

dont curse west bengal that much...it still amongst top states in social sectors...above guj on most social parameters,is the 4th largest economy,n has the densest rail n road networks among medium sized states,is power surplus with no power cuts,and has largest metro network outside delhi....economy wise kolkata gdp..is just after bombay n delhi..far ahead of banglore,ahmedabad or hyd.
while yes,it has slipped from its numero uno position after 1970,u will be writing us off at ur own risk...

and this thread was abt mamata,not a forum to curse bengalis,remember one thing..right wing economic free minded citizens,while u were immersed in gandhi bhakti,we gave u a political alternative in form of janata party...it was from west bengal that bjs first won seats to reach where it is today...

that is true...a bjp govt in bengal..can literally make bengal as financially able as maharashtra...entire east n north east india czn benefit...but we need a bjp govt with zero minority appeasement n max development..

How can one forget the utter bias with which Mamata Banerjee, and prior to that, Lalu Prasad Yadav, handled the Railway Ministry? The Railway Minister is a Union Minister, and s/he should work for the Union, not her/his state.

Mamata Banerjee's outbursts are usually shameless, so no surprises there. Any person who can see the truth should say "thank you" to the present government.

Such a huge rigging!? I thought you guys were all more united than rest of the country!

I hav seen Bengalis of the olden days who would come to the streets united to stop price rise or a hike in some tariff or rates. But where is that unity now?

Even in UP recently, people united and fought SP goons who had taken over an old woman's house and were harassing her grand daughter.

You people, my friend, need to really, really catch up to this trend.

A border state cannot afford to be fragmented like this. Especially not with the pole vaulting champions of South Asia as your neighbours: Bangaldesh.

What is this united thingy you are blabbing about?

Why should we be united in our political opinion? That's only possible under a tyrant or a regime like Communists - by force. In democracy, you can hardly expect to find everyone having the same opinion, let alone even the desired opinion! Why, just go outside and ask the lower income group people, how good the budget was - you would find they are a very dissatisfied lot - because most of the people see the short term goal and short term profit.

It is not the sole responsibility of us to prevent infiltration or even the state govt. It is the primary task of the BSF which utterly failed at this! And if you visit any BSF camp in WB you would see the majority are NOT Bengalis. So who are letting those pole-vaulters land here? Also, the border dispute should have been solved decades ago, what were the GoI doing? Center was never under a Bengali after all. Also, I don't see the high fences and vigil of the western border to be present in eastern part - whose fault is that? The men taking money from the illegals at the Border wearing uniforms mostly speak hindi not bengali. It is almost impossible to identify the illegals from the locals once they cross in.

We, just had a revolution in our state not more a 5 years ago. We united and we fought and many died, but we won only to find that the new regime is just as bad as the old one if not worse. Is it our fault that Mamata turned out to be such a piece of work? We knew that she was a bit crazy and stubborn, but we thought she was incorruptible. There weren't any other alternative to her, too, if we wanted to kick the left out! She turned out be corruptible very much, just by not money but by power! What can the people do? People always need a banner to rally to, the banner is missing right now and people - particularly in villages who rallied 5 yrs back and survived the worst of the burnt - is not ready yet to start another fight as they are either licking their wounds or are content with new regime's pro-rural works or enjoying the victors' largess. The rural people simply don't see the bigger picture or the future implication, immediately. If BJP is successful raising them, it would be another wipe out of a tyrant in coming days, but not before.

And, frankly rigging did happen and happened due to the worthless piece of sh^t election commission of WB. But it did not happen in such a scale as bose mentioned. Mamata truly does enjoy a wide support among the rural bengal, though in cities and towns it is waning. Also, we did not have an alternative but for Lefts. Well, BJP just rose a bit and I am glad I contributed a single vote for them - now that it poses an alternative it is going to be interesting to see what is going to happen in next election - provided the election commission of WB is kicked at its nuts to wake up and properly work. Also, BJP needs to be more in picture with better faces. Bapi Lahiri, P.C. Sarakar? I mean seriously, what kind of Idiot do you think the Bengalis are?
